IZork one who has commanded the admiration of
Ais fellow citizens, tho appreciation OF his pro-
sessionai brethren, and the hearts of the broth
ers of his college fraternity. Forty -four years

ton of college mates. Our brother one of
the early members of the Beta chapter of our

The chairman then introduced Ex-Governor
Hoadly, who was greeted with long continued
applause. Mr.. Uoadly said that when a ban
suet was proposed to be given in his honor he
was undecided whether TO accept or not, but
when ne looked back for over forty years he
thought he had right to accept as a repre-
segtative of Beta Theta P. He had been al
loxed to associate with many giants. One OF
the greatest of them all was here o-night, and
Satsby his side. who led division, aud left leg
1t Port Hudson-General Paine. He was and
always would be. an active member of Beta
The.a Pi He did not agree with
Dr. McCosh about college associations. In
his cninion they met for sociability. He believed
in coslege fraternity and the boys will have it.
Aand the love and friendship he had spent in
Beta Theta Pi would be always cherished and
his laser days be made more joyful by the
memories and by the acquaintances OF his youth.

remember his.
